Thank you so much for all the input! Yes, if I do get a heavier track bike such as the CBR, I will definitely get a heavier duty carrier than what I have now, probably the versahaul. Let me speak to my buddies, and maybe we can link up. We've ridden the pines before, can't say that I enjoy the...

Thanks! I currently use the carrier to bring my Beta 390RR to the trails, and KTM 690 SMC-R to to the track. I am also considering a Honda CRB600RR strictly as a track bike, and it is probably too heavy for my current setup. I'd have to get a steel carrier for it, which is 100lbs in itself, and...

Thank you for the encouragement, I though independent rear suspension was actually bad for towing, and especially loading weight on the tongue as the rear wheel camber becomes negative the lower the suspension goes down? I drove my friend's GX460 years back a few times, and I have to say I was...

Well, that's why we have to go on extensive drives to NJ, CT, MA, PA to get to the trails.

Haha, no garage, but I actually briefly considered doing something like this with the X5, but it would be too much of a third world style improvisation. :D
